PERSISTENCE

Nothing in the world
can take the place of persistence.

nothing is more common
than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not;
unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not;
the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination
alone are omnipotent.

--Georg Groddeck
